Production Partner:

AVENUE Q started its life in 2002 with an off-Broadway run at the 200 seat Vineyard Theatre, where it was extended four times. It then opened at the Golden Theatre on Broadway in July 2003 to critical acclaim. To the delight of all involved, the show went on to beat favourite “Wicked” to win three of the top 2004 Tony Awards: Best Musical, Best Original Score of a Musical and Best Book of a Musical.

Conceived by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, who wrote the music and lyrics and book by Jeff Whitty, Avenue Q is still running on Broadway, the West End, a US National Tour, and had its premiere in Las Vegas in 2006.

Avenue Q is a new breed of musical performed by a wonderful mix of humans and puppets. It features full puppet nudity and songs like ‘Everyone’s a little bit racist’, ‘The internet is for porn’ and ‘If you were gay’. Cross Sesame Street with South Park, give it an X rating and you’ve got the funniest musical to hit Melbourne in a very long time.

Avenue Q will have its Australian premiere at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne on 4 June, 2009. The production will then continue its 55 week tour to Sydney, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Wellington and Auckland.

Savagely funny, yet surprisingly poignant, after five years on Broadway and three years in London’s West End they’re still Queuing!

SO COME SEE WHAT ALL THE FUZZ IS ABOUT!
